It’s the only time that thinking inside the box at C2 is encouraged.

The Aquarium — our glass, cube-shaped, live-broadcast media space located in the heart of the RBC Hangar in the C2 Village — is back this year and its schedule is packed with big names and even bigger ideas.

If you’re onsite, drop by and listen in. But if you can’t make it in person this year, you can still tune in to our C2 LIVE segments each day. Follow C2 Montréal on Facebook, click “going” to our C2 Aquarium event, and you’ll be notified when we go live.

Our C2 Live at Lunchpanel will see sustainable food advocate/social scientist Jacy Reese, teen agricultural researcher Isabella Grandic and author and spearfisher Valentine Thomas discuss the ways we will eat in the future. Each C2 Live at Lunch is hosted by Vox Media journalist and author Elizabeth Plank. It goes LIVE at 12:15 pm.
